‘No help here’: #Florida #abortion ruling leaves #women w/few options

The #law allowed to go into effect by FL’s Supreme Court will affect more people seeking abortions in the 1st trimester than any other #AbortionBan to date

>80k #women get an abortion in FL in a typical yr — accounting for ~1/12 abortions in the country.

Now, most of those women will need to find somewhere else to go.

With the #Florida Supreme Court’s decision Mon night upholding an existing #15wkAbortionBan & allowing a strict new #6wkAbortionBan to take effect in 30 days, the court has cut off nearly ALL #abortion access across the #South, where ALL other states have either implemented similar #AbortionBans or #outlawed abortion entirely since #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade.

The FL justices issued a separate ruling Mon that greenlighted an initiative to put abortion on the #ballot in Nov.

@Nonilex last I looked no state has outlawed abortion entirely.

Every time somebody claims that a state has done that, I've looked up the law and seen that the law explicitly provides exceptions to restrictions.
